Advent Magazine

The Advent ® is published once each year by the Cathedral Church of the Advent. The magazine has the shape and feel of a literary and arts journal, and its aim is to show rather than explain what our church is about through creative written pieces and artwork. Our target audiences are newcomers, parishioners, day school families, Birmingham area residents, and anyone else who is interested.

Each issue takes on a theme, tells human-interest stories, includes minimal parish information, and features artwork mostly from Birmingham area artists. We have very high standards of quality for the writing and the artwork. We want it to be a creative publication that people truly desire to read and look forward to receiving each year.

If you would like a copy of the magazine, you may visit the church on a Sunday or during weekday business hours to pick up a copy.

Please note that we only accept written and creative pieces by invitation from our editorial staff. For more information about the magazine, write to Magazine@CathedralAdvent.com.

Cathedral Church of the Advent

Advent is a Gospel-centered church, with a “living, daring confidence in God’s grace” (Martin Luther) evident in any of our programs and ministries. Holding to what the Letter of Jude calls “the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints”, this Gospel focus finds the Cross and Resurrection of Jesus ever and only at the center.
